Well the Ypsi Dubs 2011 Summer -={Church}=- League has come to an end.

Congratulations Ben Calhoun on his win this season with 317 points. Ben I have your 1st place Ypsi Dubs 2011 Summer -={Church}=- League commemorative etched trophy for you when I see you next and as soon as I get the Holy Grail trophy back I will be adding your name for the Winter league and the Summer Church league wins, along with Andy Steiner name for his win of our Tuesday league.

No matter where you ended up on the leaderboard I hope everyone enjoyed a great summer season. We tried adding a few new things to make the season more fun and enjoyable. The optional 100% and 50%/50% cash CTPs seemed to be a hit and it enabled the league to do some of these new things. When it got hot Chris and his wife helped to make sure we had Ypsi Pops to cool down with and then we started bring out the big YD Water cooler. With several suggestions and some donations it was possible for us to experiment with placing brooms and broom holders at every tee pad. Hope the casuals respect the effort by the players to make our course more enjoyable for all who play it. Thanks again for all the great feedback and cooperation. Several have expressed thanks to Matt, Chris and I for keeping this going and with the help of others like Bob Smart, Mike Raley, Dan Whitlock and Sheldon Bowen we are able to do more and keep things pretty much on schedule. The overall success is really due to the group as a whole. The welcoming smiles and attitude help make new players immediately feel a part of the family. The cooperation during registration and payout makes it all that much more enjoyable to come out whether your out for the competition or just to learn or blow off steam during a fun round on a great course. Thanks to everyone.

I'd also like to thanks our sponsors like Brad at OG (Original Gravity in Milan) who has been very generous in providing great merch to us and local tournaments and some really great beer. He even let us experiment with putting games inside OG during the winter last year and so we may be able to explore some more opportunities like that in the future. The whole gang at OGs is great - Stop in and taste a great small batches or grab one of the great house brews. The Throw Shop helped us out with some gift certificates. Dying2Throw.com - Jesse Cahill provided some cool swag. Cassidy Mayne - Wicked Dyes – donated a free custom disc dye and "Mr. Wolf" with the Corner Brewery Growler and glasses setup. DiscGolfPlanet.tv enabled us to pass on a free pair of Keen shoes – Membership has it’s benefits. Mike Raley and Discraft provided some discs and apparel. White Mike and Andy Steiner also throw in some great discs. Several other have donated discs and other goodies which enable us to add more CTPs on the course and helped make our MiCPS HLW this year very fun with a CTP on every hole.

One last big THANK YOU to MDGO. MDGO made it possible for us to award several berths to the 2011 Michigan State Disc Golf Championship this season so Ypsi Dubs will be represented again this year at this amazing event. Bigger than ever before with a new course in play. Making history in so many ways Michigan Disc Golf Baby!! Berth winners don’t forget to register by Aug 26th!!!! Hope to see a bunch of you up in Ludington Sept 3rd & 4th.

So you helped make Ypsi Dubs what it is and we look forward to continuing to grow the league and the fun with you. So although this summer league is over we will continue playing, competing and having as much fun as possible on a public coarse. Tuesday league will continue until we run out of light and the park closes early. Sundays will continue all year long. I need all the Church service I can get. We will start a Fall Folly league to collect and post scores until the Winter league begins in November and it will run through March. We will continue to be a part of the Ann Arbor and Michigan Cooperative Point Series so we are a part of the Michigan Disc Golf Scene as it encourage other players to join us and adds a little more incentives to travel to other courses and play other leagues. Thanks DiscGolfScene for making all this fun possible and so much easier - Pete - Woot - Woot

Ok – we may have broken the record for the number of mosquitoes encountered on the last round of the season but no player was carried off by mosquitoes and most players survived. Not sure who got buried out near 11 ‘s tee pad – god rest his sole.

How ever you look at it the fun meter was begged…… Thanks and we look forward to see yeah at Church soon.

Mosquito warning for Rolling Hills – You will need bug spray at Chur

The Mosquitoes have been knocked down by the heat but with the cooler weather and the rain they are back and thicker than ever.

On a positive note - By tomorrow there will be a broom on every tee pad long and short. Currently they are on ever pad from hole 5 thru 18 and all the holders are hung. Thanks to all who contributed and to those who use them to keep the pads clear.

Well Just one more round of the Ypsi Dubs -={Church}=- Summer league. Looks like the top position is pretty secure but you never know. There is still some room for upward mobility in the rest of the leaderboard. This will also be the last round for MiCPS points from Ypsi Dubs -={Church}=- - another reason to come out this Sundays and enjoy the Hills
Hope to see you Sunday the 7th. Peace

Church service and Kensington HLW this Sunday

A few people asked about this Sunday and Church since Club Kensington will be having there HLW. Many of of regular brethren will be making the pilgrimage to Kensington to share in the fun and the double points. If you have the time I highly recommend making over to the Black Locust course. Jeff has a lot of fun planned but there is a limited of 108 players so you should show up early and reg (10:45 cut off for sign in.) and then warm up or get into the pre-round Putting Challenge.

100% Ace pool payout this Sunday - HLW

Just a reminder and some insight to the fun at Church this Sunday during our MiCPS Highlighted League of the week.
Of course it's double points which is awesome if you trying to climb the leader board.
We thought we would make it a little more fun for those who can attend by making the Ace Pool a 100% payout this week. It's at $300 + probably another $100 and from the shorts - An Ace bonanza....

Put wait - That's not all. If you act before Sunday at 10:15 am you will have a shot at CTPs on every hole - YES every hole.

For the Extra $2 you are in three, not two extra CTPs this week:
1) 100% CTP
2) 50/50 CTP

We will have some pre-round activities – including a Pre-round CTP for a MDGO berth to the Mi Disc Golf Championship in Ludington. So you may want to come a bit early if you don’t have your berth yet.

A few extra CTPs on the course and another MDGO berth up for grabs during the round. Top player that does not already have a berth will claim this last Ypsi Dubs awarded berth.

Do you need some new Keen sandals, shoes or snow boots? We will be giving away, to one winner, your choice of any Keen shoes – that’s up to the $140 Keen Snow boots - Only available in size 6 - Just kidding - you get to pick your size too. You pick-em and we’ll deliver them. DiscGolfPlanet.TV shared with me and I know there are a few who could use some new boots for the Winter league.

Note we will be doing registration over by the lodge this week and the MDGO berth CTP toss will be down the toboggan hill.

Remember your Mom wants you to go to Church – come make your Mom happy ;-)

This Friday we are heading out the Rolling Hills to try and scare up some fun. It’s been a minute since we have traveled to this port and played our game of chance. Vote’s tallied and this was the wiener.
Optional side games are always running and I would expect to see some Ypsi love as we head to their stomping grounds.

May 8th - Reg closes at 10:00 - Play starts at 10:15

I updated the scheduled time based on discussions at the Church this week. Reg closes at 10:00 and we start play at 10:15 firm - several players have to get to other rounds afterward. This will make hooking up with Night Moose as well for back to back rounds - The promised land... Now we just need to work on the water to wine thing....

Due to the weather we postponed Longs this week until next week. Unless we're in tornado watch you can count on Longs May 8th.
